Explanation▾

Taylor Swift wants to find out how much fans enjoyed the Eras Tour shows. She will ask fans, “From 1 to 100, where 100 is the most, how much did you enjoy the concert?” The V.I.P. section she wants to survey has 50 seats (5 rows x 10 columns). The stage runs along the northern edge of the venue (where Taylor is pictured). She wants to take a sample of 10 fans.
